So last week I ended up going 9-4. 1 shy of the 10-3 goal i had hoped for. Lets hope for that one extra win this week.
Wash at Atl: Coming off a tough loss to the Saints, the Falcons should easily take care of business. Atl wins.
Arizona at Chicago: these are two up and down teams so far but I think Cutler should be able to take over at home. Chi wins.
Baltimore at Cincinnati: Another rematch of some AFC North foes. Cincy got the win last time but I believe thats because the Ravens underestimated them. This time, the Ravens will be ready and Cedric Benson wont rack up over 100-yards rushing on the Baltimore D. Bal wins.
Hou at Indy: Houston has been playing great lately, despite me not picking them, but I really don't like their chances against the undefeated Colts, especially at Indianapolis. Colts win.
KC at Jac: one of the least exciting games this week, I think Garrard and Jones-Drew can finally do something against the weak KC defense.
Miami at NE: One of the games to watch this week. Lets see how that wildcat works against that frailing NE defense. I do see Brady racking up big numbers though. NE wins.
GB at TB: Aaron Rodgers humiliating loss at the hands of his former mentor should be haunting him this whole week, but what should you do when your feeling down and you don't have a bye week, well, you play the Bucs, who have ben feeling this feeling all season. Packers win.
Car at NO: Can anyone stop the saints right now. If someone can, it's certainly not the Panthers. NO wins.
Detroit at Sea: Seatle definitely has a chance to gain some ground on the NFC west with an easy game against Detroit. Sea wins.
SD Vs. NYG: The giants have to get out of their slump one day. I predict it will be Sunday against the chargers and their poor run game. NYG wins.
Tenn at SF: Tenn only has one win but their a different team now. San Fran has been horrible these past couple of weeks. Even though the niners are at home, i'm gonna give it to vince young. Tenn wins.
Dallas at Phil: One of the best games to watch this week. Just like I said last week, Philly has too many weapons for almost every defense, Dallas is no exception. Phil wins.
MNF Pitt at Denver: Pittsburgh has been playing great lately. their pass game is finally insync with their run game and their looking more and more like the championship steelers of last season. Pitt wins.

Yank's give it to Hamels, Phils
So these first two games of the series was what we pretty much expected, good offense, but great pitching. Cliff Lee threw a magical complete game in game 1 allowing only 1 run with 6 hits and 10 k's in 9 innings. CC Sabathia threw a great game as well allowing only 2 runs but the Yankee offensive simply had no answer for Lee.
Game 2 was just about the same with A.J. Burnett throwing a gem allowing 1 run where as the rejuvenated Pedro Martinez allowed 3 runs letting the Yankee fans know who's who's Daddy.
Game 3 was a battle of Andy Pettitte, the pitcher with the most post season wins in history against Cole Hamels, the reigning World Series MVP. Hamels isn't the same pitcher we saw last post season and Pettitte is getting up their in age, so we knew this one was going to be a hitting duel and it didn't disappoint as the Yank's took back home-field advantage in an 8-5 victory.
In a game that saw 6 home runs, the fans certainly got what they wanted out of these two juggernaut offenses. Even the first ever post season home run review on a homer by A-rod that bounced off a camera in the crowd.
How does A-rod do these things? You can recall last year when the home run review was put into place, A-rod was the first player to have a homer reviewed after he hit one into the catwalk at Tropicana Field.
Staying on the topic of A-rod, who seemed to come out of the 0 for 8 slump with 6 strikeouts the first two games, hits the controversial homer and walked a few more times to get on base.
The Yank's were definitely on their game tonight. Matsui got his second homer of the series coming in as a pinch hitter as they're playing by the NL rules in Philly. Nick Swisher, who was criticized the whole postseason for his poor play, led off the 5th with a double and then homered in the 6th.
Heck, even Pettitte got a hit off Hamels. Not just a hit, an RBI single and then a run. Derek Jeter was seen telling them umpire that their all going to be hearing about that one for a while. It was Pettitte's 14th RBI of his 19 year career.
For the Phillies, Jason Werth had a good game scoring 2 home runs, unfortunately, no one else did much to help him out. Ryan Howard, the post season's most productive player went 0-4 with 3 strike outs. Chase Utley, the player who hit two home runs against Sabathia in game 1, also went 0-4.
Mariano Rivera than came out in the 9th and did what he's been doing his whole career, finishing off games. He did it beautifully allowing no hits in less than 10 pitches.
This was what we all wanted, to see the balls fly out of the park, because while we all think pitching is great, we all came to the park to see these people hit, and the harder the better.
Game 4 of this series continues on Sunday, where I believe it will be another bomb fest when Joe Blanton takes the mound for Philly against a short rested Sabathia. I believe the Yanks we'll do some damage against Blanton as well as the philly's giving a hurting to Sabathia.
I give the edge to the Phillies because they need to tie up the series now or they may not have enough confidence to do it after being down 3-1 in the series. Whatever happens, two things I'm sure of, Jimmy Rollins' statement of the Phillies taking it in 5 is no more and, if the Philies want to win it, their going to have to do it in New York. Good luck with that.
Game 2 was just about the same with A.J. Burnett throwing a gem allowing 1 run where as the rejuvenated Pedro Martinez allowed 3 runs letting the Yankee fans know who's who's Daddy.
Game 3 was a battle of Andy Pettitte, the pitcher with the most post season wins in history against Cole Hamels, the reigning World Series MVP.

week 8 predictions
So last week i went 9-4, 1 shy of my goal but i'm getting better. lets see whats going on this Sunday.
Denver and Baltimore: Denver's been a really big surprise this whole season but I really think Baltimore will finally pull out out of their 3 game losing streak here. Bal wins.
Houston at Buffalo: Both teams have played well these past two weeks but Houston's been tearing it up offensively scoring a total of 52 points these past two weeks, plus I've bet against Houston the past two weeks and lost so I have to pick them. Hou wins.
Cleveland at Chicago: A game against Cleveland, where the fans don't even believe in the team anymore is a great way for Jay Cutler to get his confidence going after getting crushed by Cincinnati last week. Chi wins.
Seattle at Dallas: Dallas has been looking good recently now that they got someone to replace t.o., no not Roy Williams, but the new star in town, Miles Austin. Dal wins.
St. Louis at Detroit: One of the least exciting games this week, but i'm going to give it to the Rams, because despite their record, they do have some decent talent and right now that Detroit's QB Matt Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson are still questionable helps St. Louis' cause even more. St Louis wins.
SF at Indianapolis: SF started out well but hasn't done much since. Indi shows no sign of slowing down as they remain undefeated. Indi wins.
Miami at NYJ: New York's chance to get some revenge for the Monday night beating they got by the wildcats. Something tells me Rex Ryan's defense will be ready this time. Jets win.
NYG at Philly: the Yankees and the Phillies, oops, that's across the street. The eagles and the G-men will be a great divisional battle. McNabb has too many weapons now for that Giants secondary. Eagles win it, so do the Phillies.
Oak at SD: Chargers coming off an impressive blowout of the Chiefs, they'll do the same to the Raiders. SD wins.
Jacksonville at Tennesse: Vince young will prove to all, especially Jeff Fisher, that he's still got it. Tenn wins.
Minn at GB: Probably the most hyped game of the week, as it should be. Favre's triumphant return to Green Bay, its in a wrong uniform though, the most hated uniform in Wisconsin. Favre's a very emotional player, he'll over play himself trying to get his revenge. GB wins and Arron Rodgers will have his freedom.
Carolina at Arizona: Carolina has been disappointing me all season. Ari wins.
MNF- Atlanta at NO: Another great divisional match-up. I dare you to bet against New Orleans because I won't. NO wins.
Ok, another 13 games this week, lets hope for that 10-3 record.
Denver and Baltimore: Denver's been a really big surprise this whole season but I really think Baltimore will finally pull out out of their 3 game losing streak here. Bal wins.
Houston at Buffalo: Both teams have played well these past two weeks but Houston's been tearing it up offensively scoring a total of 52 points these past two weeks, plus I've bet against Houston the past two weeks and lost so I have to pick them. Hou wins.

Lakers basketball all geared up
The NBA and Lakers are back!
As a Los Angeles Lakers' fan coming off a short summer vacation after his team won their 15th NBA championship, I couldn't wait no longer for the Lakers to start defending their title and attempt to repeat.
It was an amazing sight seeing Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant receiving their championship rings on opening night, because the down fall they had to suffer after the Shaq/Kobe dynasty crumbled, specially Bryant.
Seeing Bryant take the moment and express to the fans by raising his ring in the air that the hard work has finally paid off was priceless moment for me.
It showed that Bryant and Los Angeles Laker fans have an close bond after being frustrated for seven years to return to the glory days.
After the raising another banner and celebrating the accomplishments of last season, the team started the new season defending the title against the dysfunctional Los Angeles Clippers minus their overall No. 1 pick Blake Griffin.
Minus Pau Gasol and newly Laker Ron Artest, the Lakers battled a tight game with a Clippers team that kept coming back from behind, but the Lakers took control of the game in the fouth quater to win the game 99-92.
Gasol who is out with a stain hamstring is expected to return soon, but the Lakers say it's nothing to be worried about.
But Hall-of-Famer and retired Laker James Worthy says that a "strain Hammy" is code for a small rip in the muscle.
Whatever the injury is... Laker fans just wish Gasol a speedy recovery and hope he comes back 100% because with all the weapons the Lakers have, we can survive without Gasol for awhile.
So let the new season begin and as long as the Lakers play there game and stay healthy then without no doubt the team can repeat as champions.
Let's go Lakers!

Week 7 Predictions
Alright so last week i went a disappointing 7-7 on my picks so maybe i'll have some better luck this time.
Green bay at Cleveland: One team has been playing well, the other has not. GB wins.
San Fran at Houston: Houston shocked us all when they took down the Bengals. You can't expect them to be consistent though. Frisco does have a new weapon they've been needing in Crabtree. Frisco wins.
SD at KC: San Diego has been a major disappointment this year but i think they can pull one out over an even more disappointing KC. SD wins.
Minn at Pitt: One of the most exciting games to watch this week. If Troy P. is healthy again he could be the key in a Pitt win at home. Pitt wins.
Indi at St. Louis: the colts just coming off a bye week are on a mission to prove their the top team this year. Indi wins.
NE at TB: Tampa Bay still looking for that first win. It won't come this week. NE wins.
Buffalo at Carolina: Carolina, off a fresh win at Tampa takes on Buff who just beat the Jets last week. I'm giving it to the home team. Car wins.
NYJ at OAK: The Jets have had a few rough weeks but they wont suffer the same fate the philly had against OAK last week. Jets win.
Chi at Cin: A lot of trash talking between Chad Ochocinco and Jay Cutler. Cutler though has had a massive inability to perform in the red zone. Cin wins.
ATL at Dal: Atlanta hasn't lost since week 3. Dallas has barley been winning games against week teams. Atl wins.
NO at MIA: Its hard to not root for the Saints after what they did to the Giants last week. Mia wins.
Ari at NYG: Arizona will be without one of their best receivers and the Giants are looking to rebound from an embarrassing loss. NYG wins.
MNF Phil at Wash: After losing to KC last week, Wash definitely had some serious problems. Same can be said for phil but they tend to perform well coming off losses. Phil wins.
There's 13 games this week i'm going for a 10-3 this time around. Lets see what happens.
Green bay at Cleveland: One team has been playing well, the other has not. GB wins.
San Fran at Houston: Houston shocked us all when they took down the Bengals. You can't expect them to be consistent though. Frisco does have a new weapon they've been needing in Crabtree. Frisco wins.

Week 6 Predictions
So I figured the Dodgers weren't worth writing about since they gave up 8 runs tonight against the phillies, I guess I'll do some NFL week 6 predictions. So umm.. here it goes.
Houston at Cincinnati - Cincy is 4-0 ever since that tipped pass that let the Broncos steal the win against Cincy in week 1. Carson Palmer is firing on all cylinders and with a receiver like Chad Ochocinco, it's not easy to stop. Cincy wins.
Detroit at Green Bay - Aaron Rodgers is definitely a QB that will do things in this league. He'll have fun playing around against this Detroit defense. Matthew Stafford isn't 100% and they don't really have much else to offer. Green Bay wins.
St. Louis at Jacksonville - Could be one of the dullest games this week, and probably a black-out to the city of Jacksonville. But David Garrard and Maurice Jones-Drew both seem to be playing up to par lately. The Lambs are still fighting with Tenn and KC for the league's worst record. Jacksonville wins.
Baltimore at Minnesota - One of the four more exciting games this week. Minnesota is 5-0, Baltimore has lost it's last two games, all momentum is going to the vikings. The Raven's defense, who gave up over 100 rush yards last week for the first time in over a year, will definitely be looking to stop Adrian Peterson. But don't sleep on Brett Farve, he's looking like he looked in the old Packer days. Minnesota wins.
NY Giants at New Orleans - Another exciting game, a battle of undefeated teams. NO just came off a bye week so they should be well rested. The G-men just played the Raiders, so they should be well rested. Two great teams with explosive offenses and defenses. New York's defense, just a little bit better, and defense wins games. Also Eli's proven he can grind it out in tough games, lets remember a certain Super Bowl about two years ago. Giants Win
Cleveland at Pittsburgh - The Browns know this season is wasted they should be focusing less on Pittsburgh and more on their QB issues. The Steelers took care of Detroit last week and they'll do the same to Cleveland this week. Pittsburgh wins.
Carolina at Tampa Bay - I have Tampa picked to be this seasons Lions, and when I say that I mean they will go 0-16 for the year. This may be their best chance to prove me wrong against a very disappointing Panthers team, but not likely. Carolina Wins.
Kansas City at Washington - Washington has to many personal problems for a team with a 2-3 record. I say the skins pull out a win for coach Zorn. Matt Cassel will struggle against this Washington Defense who ranks third in pass defense. Washington wins.
Philadelphia at Oakland - Are you serious? One of leagues most exciting, explosive teams against the team that gave the Giants a scrimmage according to Giant's linebacker Antonio Pierce. Philly wins.
Arizona at Seattle - This should be a good game between two AFC west rivals. We're not close to seeing the same Cardinals we saw last year in the playoffs and the Seahawks are playing well when Hasselbeck is healthy. Seattle wins.
Tennessee at New England - The Titans rank 29th in points allowed and 31th in pass yards allowed. Bill Belichick is looking to take out the frustration of losing to his former pupil on someone. It's gonna be a Titan bloodshed all over Foxborough. Pats win.
Buffalo at NY Jets - Buffalo has nothing to look forward to. They should worry about getting T.O. out of there, maybe getting a few picks for him. Meanwhile the Jets, despite their loss to the Wildcats last week, still have one of the top Defenses in the league and QB Mark Sanchez just keeps getting better each week, especially now with his new weapon Braylon Edwards. Jets win.
Chicago at Atlanta - Another game I'm really looking forward to watching this week. Jay Cutler and the Bears have been unstoppable after being stomped by Green Bay in week one. Atlanta, another 3-1 team, is definitely up there with this years contenders, and Matt Ryan seems to have not heard of the so-called sophomore slump because he is playing great this season, especially now that Tony Gonzalez is part of that unit. This is probably one of the hardest games to call for me, so I'm going with home field advantage. Falcons win.
Monday Night: Denver at San Diego - Denver proved they can play with the big dogs when they took down the Patriots last week. Let see how they do on the road against their hated rivals, the San Diego Chargers, at Qualcomm Stadium. Their last game at Qualcomm Stadium, the Chargers absolutely destroyed the Broncos 52-21. Chargers are still out to prove that they are a top AFC contender. Chargers win.
Lets see how it goes.
Houston at Cincinnati - Cincy is 4-0 ever since that tipped pass that let the Broncos steal the win against Cincy in week 1. Carson Palmer is firing on all cylinders and with a receiver like Chad Ochocinco, it's not easy to stop. Cincy wins.
Detroit at Green Bay - Aaron Rodgers is definitely a QB that will do things in this league. He'll have fun playing around against this Detroit defense. Matthew Stafford isn't 100% and they don't really have much else to offer. Green Bay wins.

Nascar adds Fontana in Sprint Cup Chase
Jimmie Johnson wins the California Auto Club 500 in Fontana, CA and takes a 12 point lead in the Sprint Cup Chase.
Johnson who had a strong car all day battled with teammate Jeff Gordon in the final laps to win a race that had four caution flags in the final 50 laps after only having two in over 200 laps.
The California Auto Club Speedway was finally added to the Sprint Cup Chase and switched spots with the Atlanta Motor Speedway to be one of the 10 race tracks that the 12 drives in the chase race at.
Normally the California Auto Club hosts two Nascar weekend events in February and September, but this year they got the chance to host a race in the chase.
Six races are left in the chase and Jimmie Johnson looks to make more history as he will attempt to win his four consecutive Sprint Cup.
